26) Veteran of the Psychic Wars - Blue Öyster Cult (Chronos)

 

The extended version on Extraterrestrial Live is a tour de force featuring some of axemaster Buck Dharma's best work. And fantasy writer Michael Moorcock guested on lyrics here.

 

The chord change in the verses from D ("it's time I changed and grew") to B and F#m ("but the war's still going on, dear") still gets me every time...

Great great song best known for its place in the 1986 film, but I actually like the 1981 version a little better - Richard Butler's voice is unmistakable ..

Creepy, great beat, Phil with the crazy eyes in the video.....structurally should have been just an Album hit, never would have thought radio would make it more popular. At over 6 minutes long, it is still timeless

33) Don't Pay the Ferryman - Chris De Burgh (KenJennings)

 

Where early Art Rock meets the sounds of the 80's, you get Chris De Burgh's Don't Pay the Ferryman. An energetic epic, telling the story of crossing the river Styx, the song draws on lyrical cues from Shakespeare's The Tempest. The hard driving guitars and synths keep the pace of the song up, and it's always a fun spin.

34) Wishing (If I Had a Photograph of You) - A Flock of Seagulls (ReRushed)

 

A wonderful synth-pop song that is deceptively good. It's a hypnotic song and the fade out is ethereal. Intelligent pop music. And the guitarist gives the Edge a run for his money.

35) The Weapon - Rush (Lorraine)

 

I know that hardly anyone knows much about this obscure trio from Toronto, but they had a good tune every once in a while. Even a broken clock gets it right twice a day. The Weapon is one of their more memorable songs. :madra:
